John Lawless Poet Rhyme

EVOLUTIONS CONVOLUTIONS

Thus, shall I ponder the convolutions
Of our present state of devolution
While consuming a new solution
To the contradictions of evolution

Surrounded by the walking dead
Earphones screaming in their head
Blue light failure their sole dread
While others fight for green edged bread

Perhaps we’re in a downward spiral
With our destruction going viral
Condemned it seems by judgeless trial
Because our thoughts are now on file

Thus, do the mad men mock each other
Enslave their cousin’s sisters brother

So much has been said in such brilliant rhymes. Especially love the ending John Lawless December 9, 2023 at 3:31 PM and ifs the song says, "and if everyone lit just one little candle" the environmentalist would go mental..

Daniel Turner December 9, 2023 at 6:48 AM A lesson humans refuse to learn, John. Obviously peace is not as profitable.

Silent One December 9, 2023 at 5:02 AM Humans have been on a downward spiral since the beginning of time... maybe we are a failed experiment and the aliens have given up.. Great rhymes. John Lawless December 9, 2023 at 9:29 AM SO, I have often pondered the idea that this is just some giant aliens ant farm and he keeps on shaking it.....

Lin Lane December 9, 2023 at 4:49 AM The virus we share results in madness time and again. You can mock me and put me on trial if you can find a fair minded jury. But if they condemn me and I can prove they’re all insane, I will demand absolution. You had my mind whirling with your thoughts in this one, John. Lin Lane December 11, 2023 at 8:49 AM That depends on what escapes from my lips that no one else knows, and what I know… I’m not divulging. John Lawless December 9, 2023 at 9:30 AM the od query If they arrested you for being a (FITB) would they have enough evidence to convict you....
